Overview

Join Clive for a lovely walk along the Tennant Canal towpath and through Crymlyn Burrows.

We’ll begin by walking along the pavement of Fabian Way and into the hidden urban section of Elba Crescent.

Crossing the A483 to visit the Bay Campus of Swansea University, from where we can look out across Swansea Bay, we’ll enter the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Crymlyn Burrows.

We’ll then head for Jersey Marine and join the Tennant Canal.  This will take us west through countryside until we arrive back at our starting point again.

 

Social after walk:

Afterwards, we will go for refreshments to The Mile End Pub.
